WELCOME TO WHERE SAFARI MAGIC HAPPENS

COMFORT / CULTURE / WILDLIFE

We welcome you from all over the world to Nasikia Camps!

Nasikia Camps are an intimate collection of mobile and semi-permanent camps located in the prime wildlife viewing areas of Tanzania's northern safari circuit - experience the wilds of Tarangire, the incredible herds of the southern Serengeti plains, the wildlife-filled central areas and a short drive to the gauntlet of the Mara River.

Listen to the Sounds of the Wild.

With high quality canvas between your comfortable bed and the sounds of the African night, these camps provide the ideal accommodation for lovers of the great outdoors, while retaining the coziness of a warm bed, a hot shower, gratifying cuisine and a welcoming team.

CALVING ON THE GREAT SOUTHERN PLAINS

As the grasses display fresh, green shoots the migration arrives - millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles. From late January and through most of February, this area is what cinematographers make movies about. With a cup of freshly ground coffee in hand, stretch up out of your vehicle to see these animals as far as the eye can see:

the sights and the sounds are stunning and embed in your safari memory. With the migrations herds come the preadtors; hyenas laughing, lions roaring and roaming cheetahs all looking for an opportunity to feast. During these months, our Nasikia Migration Mobile Camp is tucked away on a ridge overlooking the small marsh, a fresh water point for all species to quench their thirst.

THE WILD NORTH, DRAMATIC RIVER CROSSINGS IN MIGRATION

The Mara and Sand Rivers are pivotal locations (and gauntlets!) for the masses of wildebeest that circulate through the northern Serengeti from July-October each year – they must cross in order to maintain their migration patterns and follow the rains and fresh grasses to the south...

Often fast-slowing waters, snorting hippos and giant prehistoric crocs play havoc with the intentions of the herds and their drive to seek fresh food and water. We have Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp and Kaskaz Mara Camp in this stunning area – to highlight herd viewing and also faithful resident species. This area is adrenalin-pumping Jul-Oct, and a pleasure to explore at all other times of the year.THE WILD NORTH, DRAMATIC RIVER CROSSINGS IN MIGRATION

The dream that is Africa - after watching the romance of exploration
and adventure of the safari expeditions of a bygone era on the big
screen, it’s time to create memorable voyages of your own. Ehlane
Plains Camp has been established in the far eastern plains of the
Serengeti, a remote and wildlife-filled pocket of the savannah.

This

GUEST REVIEWS

Honeymoon dream come true!Brian L

Naona Moru showed us the most incredible hospitality we have ever experienced anywhere -- bar none, full stop -- making our four nights here a dream come true. We had the camp to ourselves for three of the four nights and every single person went the extra mile (or 10,000 miles!) to make us have the greatest honeymoon experience imaginable.

Wow amazing@n2989

Stayed at camp for two nights and loved it the tents are spacious clean and comfortable the staff friendly and attentive and we made some great friends amongst them. The food was outstanding warm fresh bread rolls and the most amazing yoghurt desert. Just loved this place should have stayed longer. We left the tent flaps open and saw hackles in the bush of a night. Safe, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend

Great two night stay at Naona@Amanda N

We had a great two night stay at this camp, the staff were super friendly and the food was great. We spent early evening with a good glass of wine watching the wildlife go by whilst sitting by the fire pit, perfect! The tents were lovely, though the mattress was a little hard for my taste. Still everything else was pretty great and we would highly recommend a stay here.

What a pleasant suprise@Alissa H

We stayed at Naona Moru camp for 2 nights as part of a week-long safari. What a wonderful surprise when we drove up after a long day of game drive to this modern tented safari camp - simply suberb! The staff greeted us with hot towels and fresh juice. Our tent had 2 double beds and a large bathroom and the food was amazing. You also get free laundry service which was greatly needed after being on the dusty safari roads. This unique camp added so much to our experience!

Camping at its best @Sherre M

We just stayed 2 nights at this camp. Out of the 10 tents we were the only ones there. We were pampered. The staff was very friendly & attentive. We were fed very well. Sitting around the fire pit in the evening was very enjoyable.
If you are a lite sleeper this isn't the place for you. Many animal noises heard through the night. Wildebeest migration through the camp in the middle of the night.
